Spiritual Dialogue
Inspiration is the most important thing for An Nuo, as a creator, especially for independent, and original artists; no inspiration, no innovative work. She creates new pieces of work by traveling, which refreshes her mind, feelings, and sensation of body & spirit through all of nature and life. Whether it be flying to a different continent, country, state, town, or even hiking nearby, the key is nature. Nature connects to all of life, and offers her all the nutrition needed to nourish her creative roots and spiritual trees. The pictures below depict examples of her travels in the Arizona desert and from where she obtained her inspiration by 2 musicians and an ornithological group.
